It was a pleasant, if quiet Halloween around these parts (though I should reserve comment on the quietness until I've had a better chance to check the outside for eggs and shaving cream and such). This is clearly Hudson the wonder dog's favorite holiday, as she assumes all the folks showing up at the door are here to see her. For the second year in a row she wore a costume for the occasion, this time she was a baseball player, and she seemed to delight the visiting youngsters more than the candy we were offering.

Happy Birthday to MamaBlue, the best mom a guy could ask for.
